The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

I just saw a blog post about the Antenna TV spinoff I'll wait when Deadline, Hollywood Reporter, or B&C report on that.

If you can receive it, WTVG Toledo has a Weather Nation/local weather on 13.7

I actually think we might lose Antenna TV so that Doozy or Defy can be aired here. I really wish Antenna TV would pay its affiliates, so then their affiliation deals would be more secure. Or that Nexstar would buy one of the Detroit LPTVs or class As (those don't affect ownership limits)
Go Lions!

I don't know when the Scripps deal with Antenna TV ends where I live Nexstar will take Antenna TV kinda surprised they haven't put it on a .4 since Nexstar does own Antenna TV and Katz Networks have a lot of networks on different stations in West Michigan now, I have beaten that dead horse so much I'm not going to repeat that again.
